What's Inside
Introducing our Loro Vinoso Alpaca Silver Bombilla, crafted from premium alpaca silver (German silver). Its angled design ensures the perfect sipping angle, preventing any spills of yerba mate or water. The alpaca silver construction adds a touch of aesthetic beauty to your mate experience, making it a stunning addition to your coffee table.
The Loro Vinoso name
Our Loro Vinoso Alpaca Silver Bombilla is named after the magnificent native parrot species of Argentina. Just like the elegant beak of the Loro Vinoso bird, the angle of this bombilla enhances your mate experience with its perfect sipping design.
Material
Alpaca silver is a visually stunning alloy composed of 60% copper, 20% nickel, and 20% zinc. Despite its name, it contains no silver or alpaca. Known for its beauty, durability, and malleability, alpaca silver also helps maintain the temperature of your mate, ensuring a perfect sip every time.
Length: 7 ½ in
Width: 2 in
Material: Alpaca silver
Filter type: Half globe flat bottom filter
Mouthpiece: Slightly curved and smooth
What is a bombilla, and how is it used?
A bombilla is a metal straw with a built-in filter, traditionally used for drinking yerba mate. Simply insert the bombilla into the loose leaf tea after preparation and sip. The filter keeps the tea leaves from entering your mouth, giving you a smooth drinking experience.
Which type of bombilla is best for Uruguayan yerba mate?
Spoon bombillas are the best choice for Uruguayan yerba mate due to their slimmer profile and the increased number of pores in the bombilla tip, which allows for optimal filtration of the fine-cut leaves commonly used in Uruguay.
How do I clean the bombilla?
To clean your bombilla, flip it and run water through the filter to push any debris out of the mouth of the bombilla. Each bombilla also comes with a cleaning brush for easy maintenance. Simply insert the brush into the straw to remove any residue. Regular cleaning will help maintain quality and ensure a clean, fresh taste.
Are the bombillas safe to use with hot drinks? Both stainless steel and alpaca silver bombillas are made from heat-resistant materials, ensuring they stay cool to the touch, even when used with hot beverages like yerba mate or other teas.
What makes these bombillas eco-friendly?
These bombillas are reusable, reducing the need for disposable straws or tea bags. By using a stainless steel or alpaca silver bombilla, you contribute to minimizing waste, making it an eco-friendly choice for tea lovers who care about sustainability.
What is the difference between stainless steel and alpaca silver bombillas?
Stainless steel bombillas are known for their durability, rust resistance, and modern, sleek design, making them ideal for everyday use. Alpaca silver bombillas, also known as "German silver," offer a more traditional aesthetic with a unique luster and are often handcrafted, providing a more artisanal experience.
How do I keep my alpaca silver bombilla beautiful? To maintain the shine of your alpaca silver bombilla, you can use a food safe silver polish specifically designed for alpaca or German silver. Apply a small amount of polish to a soft cloth and gently rub the bombilla, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely. Regular polishing will help keep your alpaca silver bombilla looking beautiful and prevent tarnish.
Can I use these bombillas with teas other than yerba mate?
Yes! Both stainless steel and alpaca silver bombillas are versatile and can be used with any loose leaf tea, including green tea, chamomile, and herbal blends. They offer a unique and enjoyable way to drink your favorite teas.
